New innovative encoder scale opens up new possibilities
Renishaw, the global metrology specialist, has launched a new substrate mastered encoder scale that adopts the thermal behaviour of the underlying substrate. The RKLC encoder scale is a robust, 6 mm wide stainless steel tape with a thickness of just 0.15 mm. This thin profile allows the scale, when rigidly fixed to…
Transform your CMM performance with 5-axis touch‑trigger measurement
Unlike conventional touch-trigger measurement methods which rely on speeding up the motion of the CMM’s 3 axes to measure quickly, PH20 utilises the head motion technology developed for the multi-award winning REVO system to minimise the dynamic errors of the CMM at higher measurement…
QC20 ballbar system
The industry standard for quick, simple and effective machine tool performance verification. Ballbar testing provides a simple, rapid check of a CNC machine tool’s positioning performance to recognised international standards (e.g. ISO, ANSI/ASME, etc). This allows users to benchmark and track the condition of…
Measure and align geometric and rotational axes on machine tools
The XK10 alignment laser system has been developed to measure geometric and rotational errors of machine tools. Used with the XK10 machine tool fixturing kit, it enables faster and easier measurements over traditional methods, such as dial gauges, autocollimators and metrology artefacts. It…
How to optimise your encoder system
This webinar explored the external and internal factors that can influence the performance of your encoder and what can be done to minimise any adverse effects. Watch the video
APC tool setting probes with automatic protection covers
The APCA-45 and APCS-45 tool setting probes enable manufacturers to implement automated tool measurement into turning and multi-task machining applications. These measurements can be used for initial tool setting, tool replacement cycles, tool wear, tool breakage and thermal growth…
